Now it’s easier than ever to have lush, colorful plants along a deck railing. This cleverly designed planter securely straddles rails made from both 4" and 6" milled lumber (actual width 3-1/2" and 5-1/2") — no mounting hardware needed. Best of all, it’s self-watering; simply fill the reservoir and plants receive water as they need it.

We have an elevated deck off of our living room with 8' sliders. These "window" boxes will bring the beauty of our flower gardens right to us, along with the added benefit of butterfly and hummingbird attractors...a lovely enhancement to our mountain view! Also convenient to the kitchen for picking fresh herbs! As we are renting the house, we can add all the planters we want without having to attach them with hardware, and if we do ever decide to move they are "good-to-go" even in the growing season. And we don't have to worry about watering if we are away for a few days here and there this summer. Such a deal!
